COUNSEL:
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge
characterization be changed to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Upon entering the service, he had negative effects from the
abusive use of alcohol. He left military service, as a result
of three related incidents, but was judged as not being an
alcoholic and should have been offered treatment.
The applicant did not submit any documentation to support his
claim.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 Sep 87 for
a period of four years.
The squadron commander initiated administrative discharge action
against the applicant, on 10 Aug 88, for misconduct. The
specific reasons for the proposed action were: the applicant
received an Article 15 for failing to obey a lawful general
regulation by consuming alcohol in the dormitory; he received an
Article 15 for possessing alcohol in his dormitory room and for
breaking restriction, and a Special Court-martial for failing to
remain in uniform while outside the dormitory and for wrongfully
using alcohol.
After consulting with counsel and having been advised of his
rights, he submitted a conditional waiver of his right to have
his case heard before an administrative discharge board upon
receipt of a general discharge. The wing staff judge advocate
recommended a general discharge, without probation and
rehabilitation (P&R). The discharge authority approved the
general discharge without P&R.
The applicant was discharged, on 29 Aug 88, under the provisions
of AFR 39-10, by reason of misconduct pattern discreditable
involvement with military and civilian authorities, with service
characterized as general (under honorable conditions). He was
credited with 10 months and 21 days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or injustice
that occurred during the discharge process. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was
consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the commander's discretionary authority.
The applicant has provided no evidence which would lead us to
believe the characterization of the service was contrary to the
provisions of the governing regulation, unduly harsh, or
disproportionate to the offenses committed. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which
to recommend granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
